Widgets:
Beautiful Widgets - this takes up the middle of my home screen - has time and weather, I also use the vibrate widget from it on my right side screen to switch between vibrate and sound with one touch)
BatteryLife - shows a lot more info than the normal battery icon like percentage, temp, actual charge in mV etc.Apps:
Astro - file browser/manager for the SD card.
Backgrounds - bunch of wallpaper choices.
Car Locator - this is awesome for parking in a huge lot like at a stadium.
Dolphin Browser - browser replacement that adds iPhone style pinch and zoom, tabbed browsing etc.
Google Sky Map - this is the one app I'd use to wow people with the phone, at least at night. Point it up at the sky and it shows you what stars/planets/constellations etc you're seeing.
Handcent SMS - awesome replacement for the default texting app.
KeyRing - stores retail store "rewards" cards so you don't have to pull out the physical card, they can just scan the phone.
LED Flashlight - uses the camera flash LED as a flashlight.
Live Scores - best sports score app imo.
Notes - notepad type thing
Pandora - internet radio stations based on the artists you tell it you like.
ShackDroid - this one is pretty obvious
Shazam - this is another app to use for wowing people - hold it up to music that's playing and it'll tell you the artist and song title.
Startup Auditor - allows you to stop some of the useless apps from even loading, like Corporate Calendar etc.
TasKiller - I prefer this to the other similar programs. Just make sure you add stuff like Gmail and a few of the other built-in apps to the ignore list otherwise things like Gmail push and Market downloading stop working.
The Weather Channel - best weather app imo
Twidroid - best Twitter client at least until the Beautiful Widgets guy releases his
USA Today - best news app on Android currently, hoping CNN ports their iPhone app.
Wapedia - best wikipedia app.- taken from another site that I frequenternexbcn
- nice, thanks .. what's the site called?********
